By way of introduction – let’s just say I’m one of Millions of formally loyal supporters of the GOP. We are the people who donate small amounts and volunteer to make phone calls and knock on doors and do a myriad of others things we don’t like to do just to support the Republican party. We are the ordinary folks you ignore or openly insult – the people you are taking for granted.
We’re also the folks who are standing by dumbfounded as you’re doing the Democratic socialist’s bidding of creating a whole new underclass of Dem voters granting amnesty to the illegal invaders.
Do you really think there is any point in sticking with you people since you seem to be obsessed with defeat? Do you actually think that we’ll stick by you no matter what? Did people stick with the Titanic as it was sinking below the waves?
You say we will lose if we don’t support the party – well, we’re going to be losing anyway so ‘what difference does it make?’ [To coin a phrase]
I intensely dislike traipsing around strange neighbourhoods and knocking on doors for hours on end – but I did that for the good of the party.
I cannot stand calling people on the phone to go through inane call scripts – but I did that because I thought it was important for the future of the country. I helped prepare mailers and did other grunt work because I knew the country is on the edge of a precipice.
I tried to support you people whenever I can and what did it get my brethren and me? [Aside from the derision from fellow Conservatives that think we’re fools for continuing to support you losers]
Let me fill you in on a couple totally freaking obvious facts that have escaped your well healed notice: ~ A). The Leftist-Socialist National Media is NEVER GOING TO BE YOUR FRIEND – learn this really obvious fact and put it in big block letters over your desks so you can remember it.
Say it yourselves 100 times until you learn it – they are the propaganda arm of the Socialist Democratic national party and they cannot be appeased, and they certainly won’t be your friends. They must be defeated along with the main body of the socialist national left in this country.
Those people need to be defeated, not befriended. They are playing for keeps – we need to do the same. In Alinsky’s rules for tools, he refers to us as the ‘enemy’ – well it’s time we did the same.
B). The Media and the DNC are going to label you Racists, terrorists or whatever unless you cease to be Conservatives and become a variation of their Socialist selves.
Stop trying to answer their mendacity and label it for what is and move on – for once you end up on the defensive, they will keep you there. Take a page from the leftists and push a Conservative agenda instead.
The Socialist National left is like a baseball batting machine that incessantly hurls fast balls at your head. Its an unceasing process that will never stop
The minute you shoot down one their outright Lies, two more will be on your way.
C). Never do what the enemy wants you to do – this is so blindingly so obvious the great strategist Sun Tzu didn’t bother saying this self-evident truth.
So, what do you need to do to get us to stick with you and get us back into your good graces?
Good question [{I’m glad I asked it}
1). STOP SUPPORTING AMNESTY FOR 30 MILLION NEW DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.
[Can I be any more emphatic on that point?]
Mark my words, you can either drop the insane idea of amnesty for the illegal invaders or you can destroy the party - It’s your choice.
Pushing amnesty will either create 30 Million new voters for Democratic largess or it will fractionalize the party so badly that it will no longer be the ‘Loyal opposition’ to the Socialist National left.
The GOP will be deader than a Bull Moose as a result – does that sound like a winning strategy?
Either way will mean one party Socialist Democratic national party rule for now until Armageddon.
2). Stop insanely nominating Rinocrats in the futile hope that the media will be ‘nice’ to you and not put the full weight of their propaganda machine to work shredding said candidate.
How many times do you need to repeat that insanity before you learn the lesson?
3). Stop trying to outbid the socialist with government largess
You can’t outbid people willing to destroy the nation just attain some temporary power.
It should be plain that you need to stand up for Conservative values – that is the only thing that will save the country from it’s inevitable demise at the hands of the socialists.
IF you do not do those simple things to save the party and save the nation, I will bid you a quick goodbye and be on my way – along with millions of others.
You can stuff your endless appeals for my donations, and your admonitions to volunteer will fall on deaf ears.
We may be on our way to defeat with a third party – but we will do it with our head held high and our Conservative principles intact.
There is no earthly reason to stay with a sinking ship – and you people are heading straight on for an iceberg – and sadly, you don’t seem to know it.
We can and we will leave – many already have and the exits are getting pretty jammed up.
I can envision many of my Conservative colleagues yelling back at the paper – Hey, where have you been sister? We abandoned the stupid party years ago.
Let me just say in my defense that in most abusive relationships, each has their personal breaking point – many have already reached and are beyond that point. I dare say that if the current events hold to the trends as they are now, many more will join them – as will I.

Me too. Bonehead and Chinless are in agreement on driving the TEA Party out.
Addressing your Item 3: The Republican Party itself was founded in 1854, and elected its first President only 6 years later. Technically, you can say it took “years,” but if the TEA Party people had walked out when McQueeg was nominated to lose against Obastard, they’d have a Presidential candidate race worth talking about today. If they walked when Romney won in ‘12 by destroying, in collusion with the Press, every conservative to run against him, we’d have people running for the House and Senate today.
George Washington, in his farewell address, warned of exactly our current situation.
It’s Uniparty now.
Conservatism in the GOP is dead, except for a few poor schmucks attempting the impossible.
Only a real, energetic, boots-in-the-mud groundswell will change our situation. And time’s running out.
They don’t care.
They want the cheap (slave in some cases) labor. They don’t care about conservatives, because in their world view they don’t matter.
I heard Rush say that, yesterday, too...and I agree with him 100%. I also agree with you, that they will not succeed.
They're putting $$ and power over country. CORPORATIST TRAITORS!
“They’re very well aware, they don’t care.”
You’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem isn’t really the GOPe. It’s us. We’ve stood by while Republicans colluded with Democrats against us. Say what you will about the likes of McCain, for example, but he keeps getting reelected. Why in the world would he show any loyalty to us? That would be crazy. Why? Because he runs to the right six months out of every six years, then spends the other 5 1/2 years thumbing his nose at us, and he keeps getting reelected!
= 
=“$$s don’t get you elected. Votes do.”
Money typically buys access to voters, but I think you make a valid point. The Internet is making it much easier and probably significantly less expensive to reach potential voters. Expensive network and newspaper ad buys seem to be less effective. I think we’re entering an era where the big political war chests deliver much less bang for a buck.
Let me add:
What’s the point in electing Republicans if they act just like Democrats? Why should we elect a GOPe / RINO when they’ll agree to every piece of Democrat legislation to “get along with their friends across the aisle”?
Your first two options are not viable. The liberal/socialist control the levers of power in the party.
The third option is the only way but it would have to be done quickly and pull so much support from the GOP that is collapsed as a viable 2nd party within a couple of election cycles. If the new party accepts the GOP socialist trash within it’s ranks it will die quickly, those leftist scum need to be regulated to the democrats and not given air to breath in any new party. And the third option means the openly communist democrats would be in charge for several years inflicting more damage to the country.
The choices are not good but I am inclined for the new third party quickly replacing the GOP despite the additional damage. Because quite frankly I am done with the GOP they left me. Aside from Cruz and Rand Paul at times I do not feel like I have any representation in Washington period.
She misses the point: this is all by design. Once you cast aside the idea that there are two major political parties and accept that fact that there is but one uniparty with two cooperating factions, then it’s a lot easier to see the underlying logic.
“They’re very well aware, they don’t care.”
No only aware, but actively collaborating and facilitating.
“As I see it, conservatives, libertarians, and conservative-leaning independents have three choices:”
I see a fourth and a fifth besides. But let’s go over your list.
“1. Continue to hope the GOP will come to adopt and fight for traditional, conservative values and candidates.”
LOL! The gop faction of the uniparty is in full agreement with the ‘rat faction of the uniparty. Conservatism ain’t happening in the existing system.
“2. Work together to take control of the GOP and it’s resources and change the direction of the Party.”
Unlikely. The uniparty and their cronies will change the rules to make this very, very difficult to do. They have endless economic resources to preserve their hegemony.
“3. Leave and form a third party which will take years to develop sufficient size, scope, and resources to be able to have significant impact.”
Also unlikely. The uniparty has been marginalizing second parties for over 150 years now. They’re very, very good at it.
“That’s the conventional wisdom. Got any proof that it’s true? Any examples from history?”
Exhibit A: the Libertarian Party. Started in 1971. Has yet to win a governorship, US Senate seat or a seat in Congress. Still keeps on plugging away but has largely been a failure in the electoral realm. That’s not really why they exist, but viewed from strictly that perspective they’ve accomplished little.
“They are going to care when people tell them to go play in the traffic.”
Not really. They’ve already feathered their nests.
“There are several additional options that may be on the table.”
I can think of several. None of which involve more than a cursory involvement in electoral politics, which at this point is truly the road to perdition for conservatives.
“Term limits are starting to sound real good right now.”
They’re a good starting point but frankly it doesn’t change much when the uniparty has someone ready to take over whenever their term-limited darlings need to move on.
Maybe you consider writing your own open letter to the stupid party – I’m serious.
We need to flood those idiots with the wrath over this betrayal of liberty that everyone is feeling.
